**Please note: If you plan to attend both days (Saturday and Sunday), please register for both days. Click here to register for Sunday.

Get away from the house, the spouse, the kids, the cats (and dogs), the job, the neighbors, well-meaning friends and relatives and the mile-long to-do list and do what you really want to do – improve your mystery writing skills and mingle with others who share your passion.

This is a free, two-day event open to the public. You may register for both days or for either Saturday or Sunday. To attend both days, please register for each day individually.

**PARKING also available at Notre Dame College, directly across from the library. Uniformed personnel will be available during library hours to help pedestrians cross South Green Road.**
